} I have got a file that is gzipped. Is it possible to do a database import } through a pipe from a .gz file? Does anybody have a script for doing this?

} I am having a space issue and need to import the data but if I unzip the
} file first than I don't have enough disk space so I am wondering if there is
} a way to keep it .gz but still import.

mknod exp_pipe p
gzip -d < dumpfile.gz > exp_pipe &
imp file=exp_pipe ...
